Chapter 172: Frustrating the Enemy's Vanguard II
Li Tiancai will really be on the fire, a brother otaku, pure nature, originally just wanted to be an invisible rich man, with a lot of money to spend, and beautiful women around him, but life forced him to be the head of the village.
Since then, in just a few months, not only have I been forced by this world to kill chickens and sheep, slaughter wolves and tigers, and mutilate small animals, but now I have to carry a gun into battle, and fight with people with real knives and guns!
"Brother, wait for me!" Li Yunshan wore armor and helmets, rode a thunderous horse in military uniform, and hurriedly caught up with Li Tiancai.
"Huh~" Li Tiancai hurriedly reined in the horse's reins, turned the horse's head, and said to Li Yunshan seriously: "Sister, don't make a fool of yourself, go back quickly, this time it's not to go out to farm wild monsters, but to fight against the cunning and fierce horse thief!" ”
Li Yunshan stubbornly shook her head and said, "Brother, you also underestimate me too much. I know there's a big difference, and the worst part is that I can't use my skills on humanoids, but I'm not in vain these days! ”
Li Tian knew that Li Yunshan didn't say big things, with her current martial arts and skills, ordinary soldiers are completely a dish, as long as they don't fight the other party's leader, there is no pressure to protect themselves on the battlefield.
Not to mention, although Li Yunshan's starting point is lower, her potential is very large, and her luck is also quite good.
But as the saying goes: in the eyes of parents, no matter how old they are, children will always be children. Li Tiancai also has a similar state of mind, always regards Li Yunshan as the sister who will never grow up, and has always been full of care and tolerance for her.
Li Tiancai waved his hand and said: "There are no eyes on the battlefield, fighting is a man's business, don't go to the girl's house!" ”
Li Yunshan pouted, pointed at Jin Chengjin not far away, and said dissatisfiedly: "What about her?" She's more than a year younger than me! Brothers in battle, fathers and sons in war, brother, just let me go, I, Li Yunshan, don't eat rice! Do you remember last time, I captured dozens of bandits alive! ”
Unable to withstand Li Yunshan's repeated begging, Li Tiancai had to reluctantly come down, today is just a small battle of encirclement and annihilation, there should not be much risk, solemnly advised: "You have to be careful for a while, don't be a bird, follow the Chinese army, wait for the opportunity!" ”
Li Yunshan finally achieved her goal, her heart was infinitely happy, she clasped her fists with both hands on the horse, and said respectfully: "The last general will be ordered!" ”
Soon, Li Tiancai, Xu Xiong, Jin Chengjin, Li Yunshan, and Tong Wu led all 300 light cavalry of Donggan Village, opened the village gate, and felt out in the direction of the horse thief's invasion.
As a technical arm in the era of cold weapons, cavalry has always been very strict in the selection of knights. Must be under 40 years old, more than 7 feet 5 inches long, sturdy, more than ordinary people, good at riding and shooting, agile and agile, advance and retreat, dare to "climb hills, take risks, absolutely Daze, gallop strong enemies, and chaos the public".
All those who were selected as knights enjoyed very high treatment, and the cavalry establishment was five horsemen and one chief, ten horsemen and one officer, one hundred horsemen and one rate, and two hundred horsemen and one general.
Cavalry units were mainly armed with bows and arrows, sabers, javelins, battle axes, etc.
The vanguard of the horse thieves who broke through this time rode more than 50 horses, all of them were first-class bravery, skilled in bows and horses, able to draw bows and shoot the enemy at a distance, and able to cut the enemy with a saber at a distance.
This is their capital across the grassland, and it is also one of the reasons why they dare to venture alone, and it is also the reason why they are buried in the east.
At the foot of a mountain more than thirty miles south of Donggan Village, Hogan looked at the wolf smoke that soared into the sky above, as well as the towering stone castle, and a sense of foreboding came to his heart.
Ba Chen, who was on the side, took out a handful of beans to feed the war horse in idleness, and muttered: "Boss Huo, you are the old and the young, the bolder the person, the smaller the smaller." In this area on the border of Feiyang Prefecture, we don't know how many times we have come, but this time there are just a few more turtle shells and a few handfuls of cigarettes. What's the matter, can this little trick still scare us? ”
Hogan glared at Ba Chen, and said in an unkind tone: "You fool, what do you know besides eating, drinking, sleeping, and women?" Such a strong stone castle is not something that can be built by trying to build, there must be something wrong with it! ”
Ba Chenwu didn't believe it, and immediately retorted: "Boss Huo, what's so difficult about building such a small stone fort? There were only a dozen or so people in there at most, and I only needed a charge and a shout to make them surrender in fright. ”
Hogan sneered: "Don't be afraid of the wind flashing your tongue, do you think that this kind of military building is the same as the earthen walls of those villages in front, and the horse can cross over it?" Such a fortress does not need to be filled with ten times the number of human lives, and it will not be able to be taken at all! We were originally alone, and this time we were in too much of a hurry, how could we be careless? ”
Ba Chen pursed his lips, although he was not convinced by Hogan, he was very convinced in his heart, he had been with him for many years, and he had been stable for many years.
You must know that although they are horse thieves who crisscross the Behan steppe, and have collusion with the officials of the Yue Lan Kingdom. But what they do is always to cut off their heads, as the saying goes, "how can anyone who often stand by the river not get his shoes wet", and the number of cavalry squads like them that has been wiped out over the years cannot be counted in a slap.
After being silent for a moment, Ba Chen asked unwillingly: "Boss Huo, what should we do then, could it be that there is something that we didn't catch, so we went back in disgrace?" I'm not afraid of other people's jokes, where is the majesty when we come out? ”
Hogan pursed his lips and said, "As long as it is better to lose people than to lose your life, it will be done!" The guy who eats has fallen, but there is no chance to regret it. Wait a little longer, the spies won't report back, and we'll go back the way we came! ”
In fact, Hogan was even more unwilling in his heart, this time it was the second leader who led the army, this person was narrow-minded, and he had always looked down on and could not tolerate such a miscellaneous army as himself. Now the group of turtle grandsons who are related to their relatives are all eating and drinking spicy food in the back, and there are women warming the quilts, so they let their cavalry team come out to explore the way.
The Behan steppe grassland is vast for thousands of miles, the land is fertile, the water and grass are abundant, and countless living beings have been raised, but it is also a place to hide dirt and dirt, hiding all kinds of bandits, hooligans, strongmen, and fugitives.
The only rule of survival in the Behan grassland is that the weak eat the strong, and the weak can only rely on the strong to obtain the right to live!
Although there are only more than 2,000 elite regular troops on the surface, the total number of various miscellaneous armies in the secret is as high as four or five thousand, and they belong to various small forces.
These motley armies roam away and go their own way, forming a loose alliance of horse thieves in the steppe, who are horse thieves when the farm is idle and natural disasters, and herdsmen who are safe and self-respecting when the farm is busy and the wind and rain are good.
On the bright side, there are three major leaders of the Beihan horse thieves, it is rumored that the big leader and the second leader have the official background of Yue Lan, and the third leader was originally the indigenous thief king, and he was the co-owner of the horse thieves of all small forces.
Among the more than 600 people in the vanguard this time, the main combat unit is the horse thief under the command of the second leader, and there are three miscellaneous cavalry squads.
"Gotta get it", when Hogan was anxiously waiting for the spies to return, he faintly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves, his expression was solemn, and he immediately made a silent gesture to the people around him, and quickly leaned over and put his ears to the ground to listen carefully.
